Do you think she was right to leave, Kai?Those immense stone structures. Those vast temples. They're only as strong as the ideas they're built on.Those old mages have spent too long in their cathedrals to notice that the pillars keeping the roof up off their heads aren't as strong as they suspected they would be.It's sad that they can't see that, though. That these seekers of truth decided "alright, we've found it and it's here, in this stone tower" and then stopped seeking. So they build the tower ever higher, ignoring the flaws at the foundation... or maybe thinking "yeah, we'll address those later, but for now we've got to keep climbing. That's how we explore the possibilities."

She sees, though. She knows what these 'men of knowledge' do not. Cannot.It'll all come tumbling down on their heads, Kai... and maybe her new temple will be where those who survive it seek refuge.

http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=23073.0This thread is awesome. If you, too, think that this thread is pretty cool, you can talk about it here instead of spagging the cool thread up with praise.Perhaps we can link other threads we like but don't want to interrupt and sit in dis here fread talking about their merits.

But like the terrorism expert said, anything that can hurt you can help you, or words to that effect. Weaknesses can be strengths if you know how to use them.

How do you use them, Sig?If I knew this, I'd be set. I'd be indestructible... but I don't know how to use my weaknesses as strengths.The best I can do is identify them and remain aware of them, lessening their power as weaknesses.But turn them right around? You're talking crazy.

This is what I do. Cover up those weak parts so they can't be hit and so they can't be seen. The problem is, this doesn't make them any stronger. Your pinky gets even more brittle, in fact, hiding in those mittens. It would be ruinous if the mittens ever failed.How can you even tell us you have a frail pinky, Sig?Making everyone aware that it's there... I can't even allude to mine without hiding the fact behind layers upon layers of metaphor.I'm not telling anyone where to hit to take me down.

This sloppily written pile of shit (thanks for making me waste 11 minutes of my life) was created for the sole purpose to determine whether or not Nigel was genuinely contributing content or just being a passive aggressive bitch.

Which is it? You can't have it being solely directed at Nigel and then try and say "also it's not just an attack at her" and pretend you were really trying to give us a motivational talk.I'm left wondering why you're trying to justify what is clearly a personal attack, while also making a point of not caring if people think you're an asshole.

Don't think I'm siding with either one of you here, either. (Just so no response to this expects me to defend anyone else's point.)I just think if you're going to be 'the only person calling Nigel out on whining too much' or whatever the fuck it is you're doing, that you should at least be consistent with that and not try and disguise it as "if you believe in yourself you can do ANYTHING!"
